THE WEATHER * Generally Falr THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | LAST EDITION THIRTY-NINTH YEAR : BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA. MONDAY, JUNE 28, 1920 PRICE FIVE CENTS ANTI-TOWNLEY CAMPAIGN FUNDS LAID BEFORE PUBLIC IN ANSWER TO LEAGUE ORGANS’ FALSEHOODS Secretary Twichell Shows That Every Dollar in the Anti-Socialist | Campaign Funds Was Contributed by Residents of North Da- kota—Will Townley Make Public His Expenses in the Cam- paign is Question Asked—Anti-Townley Forces Guard Against Election Frauds The campaign funds of the Republican anti-Townley workers | were laid before the voters of North Dakota today. The Republican leaders challenge A. C. Townley to lay before! the public the expense of his campaign with his staff of paid| managers and socialist speakers touring the state, and his propa- gandists busily spreading printed matter to the voters. The vicious lie of a “million dollar slush vote” is exploded, and | there is on foot today in every county in the state plans by the anti-Townley workers to see that a fair election is carried on Wednesday, despite the fact that in many places the Townley workers have absolutely full control of the election machinery. Now Townley’s Move The warning by Governor Frazier against election law vio- lators, issued to bolster up propaganda started by Townley managers and league organs, was a joke to anti-Townley lead- ers in Burleigh county, who ‘have made plans to guard against exploitation of the’ bal- lot by league men. The statement of the Republican headquarters shows that only $52,- 735.50 was available for the campaign expenses of the anti-Townley organi- zation. It shows the falsity of the charge that Wall street has poured a million dollars into the campaign. , “How much has been spent from the millions of dollars at Townley’s command?” the Republican workers ask. The failure of the league meetings at Mandan Friday and Saturday and at Bismarck Saturday, with Townley as the star attraction, to attract as large crowds as in previous years, has brought fresh confidence to the Re- publican workers. Reports from all sections of the state showing the fall- ing off in league meetings and the big attendance at Langer meetings has spurred the workers on to the victory that appears assured with a fair election. Langer in Burleigh Attorney General Langer entered Burleigh county toiday. He speaks at Wilton tonight at a big meeting. Sen- ator A. J. Gronna speaks in Bismarck . tomorrow night at the Auditorium, and preparations are being made for a big meeting. General Langer will finish his campaign in his home city of Mandan Tuesday night, where the league effort to besmirch his name failed. The statement of L. L. Twichell executive secretary of the Republican headquarters, showing the amount of contribution to the anti-Townley fund and that every dollar was contributed by citizens of North Dakota, is as follows: “The Courier-News, the Townley Fargo Megaphone, this morning under a heading extending across the entire front page, “Big Campaign Fund to Fight Farmer Labor Ticket.” adds its daily chapter to the continued cam- paign of deceit whereby Townley has been able to fool thousands of well meaning farmers and laborers in North Dakota into the belief that it is “Big Business.” which is fighting socialism in North Dakota. “The Courier-News article, wherein it charges that a million dollar cam- paign fund has been raised, or has been attempted to be raised, to fight the socialist bodies in North Dakota, wherein it states that the counties have been assessed on an average of $15,000 each. when it states that this mythical $15,000 assessment has been raised to $20.000 for each county, when it stated that the fund raised in North Dakota has been augmented by contributions of corporations and oth- ers outside of the state, deliberately and knowingly attempts to deceive the farmer and laborer in North Da- ‘kota. “The matter of the joint budget for the campaign to be made in the prim- aries against socialism in North Da- kota. is one of public knowledge, as is the apportionment made to the several counties in the state, from which counties every dollar contri- buted to this joint campaign fund, is received. The joint budget as made up and as sent out through the state to those interested in this carepaiens called for the expenditure of $13 Ei such fund, if received. to be expended by the anti-Socialist Republican State Central committee.

DRIFT TOWARD - LANGER SHOWN Reports from various sections of North Dakota indicate a strong trend toward the Victory Ticket as the cam- paign nears its close. The action of league speakers in departing from the issues to issue charges of graft and slander is held as a confession of the weakness of their position. They are n the closing days seeking to inject class, hatred all over the state in a degree never before attempted. E. R. Meitzen, league speaker who confesses having come into the: state only four years ago asa league organ- zer, advised a crowd at the capitol jaturday afternoon to vote against he anti-red flag bill. Fearing to de- ‘ena nis stand he employed ridicule and told the crowd that the law would prohibit the display of red pennants m automobiles with the name of a own on them. The falsity caused many to chuckle. He wes making a speech on the subject of “Liars” at "he.time. McLean county, like many oth- ers, shows how the Republican Victory Ticket stands with farm- ers.

FARMER BURNED WHILE AIDING HOPPER BATTLE Minot, N. D., June 28, While attempting to improve a_ gaso- line machine with which to burn grass- hoppers, Chas. Meore, a prominent farmer residing five miles north of Mi- not was probably fatally burned. An explosion of the machine with which he was experimenting to kill hoppers through a flame, scorched him. Mr. Moore had heard of a gasoline arrangement to destroy gra and fitted up a machine consisting of a compressed air tank, gasoline tank and burner. A pipe was attached to this through which the gas flames were forced. The pipe was dragged along thee ground to burn the grass- hoppers. This became loose and the explosion resulted. He was taken to the Minot hospital. eee FRAUD PRACTICE SHOWN BY HIS PUBLIC CONFESSION (Special to The Tribune.) Fargo, N. D., June 28.—Confession is good for the soul.

LEAGUE VOTERS DESERT IN RED RIVER DISTRICT Falling Off Shown in Counties Which Adjoin North Dakota, Refuting League Lie Fargo, June 2: The Townley heail- quarters has during the week issued frequent statements calling attention to alleged tremendous gains in Red at the recent primary election. Carefully refraining from quoting figures, the league organs have print. ed streamers about the great victor; for the league in Minnesota and in particular in the Red River valley. The figures when analyzed: prove that the league cannot possibly survive a similar “victory.” The ‘Nonpartisan vote in Clay county in 1918 was 1794: this year it was 1435. Norman coun- y cast 1496 Nonpartisan votes two years ago, this year 1048; Polk county shows a decrease from 9 to 2776. Wilkin cut the vote from 622 to 389; Kittson from 1216 to 696, and Mar- shall from 2232 to 1639, The total Nonpartisan vote in the sir Red River counties was reduced from 10739 in 1918 to 7983 in 1929, The league majority in the six coun- ties was cut from 2101 to 612. The league state headquarters here says that the results in the Red Riv- er valley counties indicate the trend of public opinion in North Dakota, A similar reduction in the Nonparti- son vote here would mean decided defeat of Townleyism. BRIDGE WORK MOVES ALON! Work on the Bismarck-Mandan bridge will be in full blast very sooa. H. P. O’'Hagen and O. C.

Men now are clearing brush away from the river bank and as soon as the river goes down a pile trestie will be built across the river. Some 10,000,000 burlap bags were used in the building of rifle pits in the cantonments of the United States during the war. OF TOWNLEY MA there falsely and for the sole and only purpose of discrediting the opposition made the statement that I had been offered Fifty Dol- lars by the J. V. A. forces for my vot “This statement was wholly manufactured by me, and the same has no foundation whatever in truth. J am very sorry now that I should so far forget mys as to resort to such ta the hope of gaining votes for the Townl ticket,. and I make this frank ement to set the matter right with my neighbors, and all concerned. I fully realize that I have made a rious charge against the opposition and the ab- solute falsity of the statement adds insult to injury. I have not been asked by anyone represent- ing the anti-Townley forces to sell my vote, and I surely owe them this apology.” The apology was received at Repub- lican headquarters here. Rivercounties of Minnesota, shown’); Wet and Dry Talk Delegates and leaders were prepared for a fight over both platform and candidates as_ the convention assembled. The ac- tual convention work itself was only preliminary and perfunct- ory, but the arrival of conven- tion day served to bring further into which had been dividing delegates and perfecting the el- der politicians in previous con- ferences. The livest subject in the minds of the delegates manifestly was the im- Pending prohibition fight but talk of candidates was gaining more and more attention as the rival managers got down to cases with the big party of uninstructed and uninstruced dele- gates. Boom McAdoo The latest turn of the McAdoo boom furnished a new angle to the con- vention preliminaries, but its precise effect on the relative situation of the candidates was not yet clear. An- nouncement that the form secretary of the treasury, despite his declara- tion that he did not want the nomi- nation, would be willing to accept it was varyingly accepted by the dele- gates, By some it was declared the de- velopment that McAdoo now would be an active contender from the start and in consequence the convention, like that of the Republicans at Chi- cago, would have a big three running close together on the opening roli- call. The possibility of such a deve- lopment brought renewed claims of consistent gains from the supporters of Palmer and Cox. Among the beet informed politicians, however, | the General opinion was, that it was still too early to forecast what would hap- pen. Discussion of candidates mani- festly still was subordinared in the minds of many delegates to the pro- hibition issue and they regarded the inevitable preliminaries with the opening session with impatience a3 they waited until the time when the differences of the wets and dry. Bryan Says Little Contrary to the expectation of many delegates William Jennings Bry- an was having little to say about the permanent organization or its com- mittees. As in more than one preivous Demo- cratic convention Mr. ‘Bryan was look- ed upon as an unknown quantity as a what might be a deciding factor in any of the political equations con- cerning the The League of Nations convenant was championed as the “Monroe Doc- trine of the world,” Mr. Cummings. Of the peace treaty's defeat in the senate, he said: “No blacker crime against civilization has ever soiled the pages of our history.” He chi ized the Republican platform ctionary and provin- cial.” “Filled with premeditated slan- ders and vague promises, it will be searched in vain for one constructive suggestion for the reformation of the conditions which it criticizes and de- plores,” he continued. “The oppressed peoples of the earth will look to it in vain. It contains no message of hope for Ireland; no word of mercy for Armenia; and it con- ceals,a sword for Mexico. It is the work of men concerned more with ma- terial things than with human rights. It contains no thought, no purpose which can give impulse or thrill to .those who love liberty and hope to make the world a safer and happier place for the average man.” Praised Record. He declared that the peace time re- cord of the Democratic party from March, 1913 to the outbreak of the world war has to it scredit “more ef- fective, constructive and remedial legislation than the Republican party had placed upon the statute books in a generation.” Praising the administration’s course in the war he said: “We fought a great war. for a great cause and we had a leadership that carried America to greater heighths of honor and power ~ and glory than she has ever known before in her entire history.” “Let no one misunderstand us. These great affairs were carried forward un- der the stimulus of American patriot- ism, supported by the courage and spirit of our people. All this is freely and gladly acknowledged, but surely the time has come when. because of the calculated criticism and premedi- tated calumnies of the opposition, we are entitled to call attention to the fact,that all of these things were ac- complished under the leadership of a great Democrat and of a great Demo- cratic administration. If the Repub- lican leaders are not able to rejoice with us in this American triumph they ; Should have the grace to remain silent. for it does not lie in the mouths of those who conducted the Spanish- American war to indulge in the luxury of criticism.” “Smelling Committees” Referring to congressional investi- gations by “smelling committees,” he said that over 80 investigations have been made. over two million dollars wasted and. “the result has been to (Continued on Page Eight)
